In fact, a few years ago, a guy engraved the very same piece and put

That's the nice way of dealing with that situation. A Cease&Desist
notice with lawyer fees attached is the neutral way. Suing for
statutory and/or estimated damages (based on download numbers, possibly
estimated) is the non-nice way.
Which reminds me that this very piece, namely the opening chorus ‘O
Fortuna’, is said to form a major/considerable portion of Schott’s
revenue, and that they have been keen to squeeze that out: It is told
that, when Michael Jackson used it in a concert tour without permission,
they waited till the concert tour was over and then sued, thus
maximising the amount they got.
